Rest in peace, Chris. I was thrilled to work w/@cshea4 at @nprclassical, on @perf_today before he got the attention he long deserved as a writer/editor at @washingtonpost & beyond. I am stunned, and so very sad to hear he took his own life.

At The Post, he assigned and edited hundreds of pieces that reflected his voracious consumption of politics, social science and popular culture.

Timely and beautifully done #aapi series from @WXXIClassical with a focus today on @WangJieComposer — I’m married to Jie and learned about her from Brenda Trembley’s interview!

It’s the only reason I haven’t deleted my account.

Looking forward to this, @oregonbachfest — will it remain available after Sunday’s premiere?
#AnAmericanMosaic premieres this Sunday (Dec. 6). Tune in to hear celebrated pianist Simone Dinnerstein perform this monumental work commissioned by Oregon Bach Festival. https://t.co/pXREQRQEh7

"Don’t all composers love music?...in many cases, it’s not so obvious." "...I listened to it again, immediately...hard to think of higher praise." Thoughtful piece by @jaynordlinger about @WangJieComposer and @BPOrchestra's performance of her Symphony No. 1.
For the music-minded, a quick post on Wang Jie, an American composer from China. She knows how to communicate — both in music and in words.

Twitter Serendipity — @JeffWQXR ‘s comment was on the next tweet in my feed, but applies brilliantly to your retweet, @juddgreenstein

Thanks @RBReich for your #munkdialogues convo with @rudyardg — your public policy goals are clear, but what can average citizens do, other than vote?
